It was probably easier for Dom to fly unchallenged like that in beta because people were just learning how to counter it. Now that the game is out players have learned to swat them out of the sky as their top priority so its harder to fly far without getting shot at. There's still some stuff you can do though to improve:

1. Remap your controls to what you are comfortable with. Especially your decoy key, it should be somewhere you can hit it fast.
2. Turn on Advanced Flying Controls
3. Practice on an offline server with bots.
4. Fly fast and only stop for a second to fire off some strockets/plasma. Never stay hovering one place for long.
5. Practice.

Listen to Backdraft as I add in my tips as well.


PRACTICE!

Ok, that was one tip. I've been practicing the with the flyers since Public Beta1. Only now am I a decent pilot. :dance:

I like to think I'm fairly decent...

For the most part, I find the Anansi easier to pilot than the Tormentor, largely because it can stop on a dime, which gives you a really good feeling of control. Freelook aim isn't all that its cracked up to be in a Tormentor... I kind've prefer being able to tilt to one side and drift in a circle around a target, Anansi style, rather than having to do multiple passes, or stop and hang back to use freeaim.

That said, while flying fast and getting out of harm's way is very important(and also risky when you're learning. I still crash plenty. :D), don't be too afraid to stop and hover to take a look around you, or to line up a shot on a Cyclops/MCP/Titan/Deployable. When you're doing that, be sure you're either very high up, or just over a ridgeline that you can sink back down behind to dodge fire.

Radar is very important to a pilot in ETQW: you're in deep trouble generally if you can't find enemy Soldiers with rocket launchers below you. Same if there's a good Fieldops/Oppressor around with some guided artillery for you.

Modern helicopter combat tactics are very applicable to the Anansi in ETQW; if you're not familiar with them, do some googling on the subject.

I am still working on the next one that will have a few tricks in both the Anansi and the Tormentor. Gathering more demo's.

Heya DreAdeD. Just want to let you know your videos helped me hone my flying skills and they're pretty entertaining to boot.

I recommend watching his video. Maybe DomMafia's stuff too. I still remember trying to shoot him down in the Betas... :infiltrator:

Thanks. I am working on an advanced flying video now. I have about 2 hours of videos that I converted so far and probally another 6 hours to go. Once I get all the demos to a format I can edit, I will have the Advanced Flying for Dummies made. I also just started working on some graphics. I recruted some help from a friend to compose some music for me. Well just make a custom DJing mix for it. I will make a new thread for it.

If anyone would like to submit any flying demo's of tricks and or dogfights, you can contact me through here in a private message, or you can get PM me through my clans website, which I am on everyday considering I own the site and do all the upgrading. I also have all my AIM, MSN, Yahoo messenger information on my site.

I also have updates about latest films and whats going on there. So stop by if you feel like it. I am known there by coRpSE, and in the game I am [HS]coRpSE, just if you see me in game, just say hi... :D

Implement new strategies and keep improving them

I usually like to charge at vehicles or deployables and throw everything at them if they dont go in one pass make another fly by.

DO NOT try this with infantry coz if they have a rocket launcher it makes you an easy target.

and most of all PRACTICE

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

I try taken out deployable's from a distance, especially AVT. Once I disable the AVT's, I usually will move on just so I am not sitting still to long. I been told I am a flyer hog, because all I do is fly(they think). The problem is that they all go soldier to take me out with rockets, and that leaves no constructors to build. So before anyone starts screaming flyer hog or all that other crap to others learning to fly, think about the stradigy behind it. Flyers are easy targets if you know what to do, but many don't, so it hard.

Someone needs to set up a dogfight server like Dom did a few weeks back, cheat-enabled to spawn Anansi's and Tormentors.

How does one do this?

Well the server admin would probably have to set up cheats, so they would type in net_allowcheats 1 into the rcon. Then the players on the server can spawn anansi/tormentors by typing in the console networkspawn vehicle_anansi or networkspawn vehicle_tormentor.

[Tanzverbot]

Cool, thanks!

[Warhead]

That actually sounds like allot of fun. will have to keep my eye out for that in the future.

EDIT: Is there any info on whether there will be another one?

[ShadowDancer]

I can see when the mod editor comes into effect that someone will generate a flyers dream map with plenty of kites on each side. ;)

I've actually got some ideas flowing around in my head about some flyer-only maps. Some of the general ideas I've come up with include:

-biggest maps possible in the QW engine
-lots of mountains/landmarks to dodge and hide around in
-an objective of some sort for each team so it's not just a massive fragfest, maybe a transmit the message CTF type.

my secret was learning to fly a chopper in the desert combat mod of the original Battlefield game.

Once you can fly that thing, the ETQW flying machines are a joke by comparison.
